I took my 6.0 to the dealer -3yrs old 20,000 miles Runs great. Oil was leaking down along the block over the starter with a small drip on the fly wheel housing. Oil was in the galley under the turbo.
Not a gusher but wet and noticeable.

Dealer cleaned the oil out of the galley and the block, put in dye, Cleaned the CAC tube at the turbo. Tightened to spec ? Drove it 80 miles.
No leak found with the dye.
Dealer analysis - oil leak from CAC tube at the turbo. Normal.

I DO know all the CAC tubes will be wet with some oil seepage, I do clean them off from time to time and check torqued. None are showing a drip leak. I have read all the current oil leak issues on the forum.

Does this all sound good?
The dealer is one of the best in East TN. I do not think they are doing the run around.

Sorry for the post. I did not read enough. I think the CAC tube oil leak is correct, since it shows up as the NR 1 cause of oil where I had it.
The dealer said not to seal the tube to the turbo. I see others recommend I do that. What is the best sealer to use. The dealer said silicon would make the tube blow off easier.

some oil in the cac system is normal. if u got excessive oil in there ud think that it b goin through the t/c and blowin smoke. i duno man id double check, or c if dealer will install new hose. stock clamp and hose assembly has a staple through them both to hold in place. mayb oil comin from the little staple holes......jst a thought....good luck
